France-Britain border: A photo taken on February 2, 2017 in Calais, shows a four-metre-high (13-foot) wall, running along a kilometre-long stretch of the main road leading to Calais port, aimed at stopping migrants who attempt to reach its shores. The wall was built to boost a network of wire fences that had failed to prevent near nightly attempts by migrants to waylay trucks en route to Europe's second-busiest port. Calais has for years been a staging post for attempts by migrants to sneak into Britain by stowing away on trucks or trains crossing the Channel

Greece-Turkey border: A pocket-sized section of a 12 kilometer-long planed fence that Greece is planning to build along its northeastern border with Turkey to keep out illegal immigrants is seen outside the village of Kastanies at the Greek-Turkish border on April 11, 2012. The 2 meter-long stretch was formally inaugurated more than two months ago by Greece's public order minister, but the project has since languished. Human rights groups have heavily criticized Greece over the fence, and for plans to intern illegal immigrants in former military bases pending deportation. The debt-crippled country is the European Union's main entry point for illegal immigrants, mostly from Asia and Africa
